The Munji language (Persian: مونجی, Pashto: مونجی), also known as Munjani (Persian: مونجانی, Pashto: مونجی ژبه, Munji: منجاني ألڤزأن), Munjhan (مونجهان), and the Munjiwar language, is a Pamir language spoken in the Munjan valley in the Kuran wa Munjan district of the Badakhshan province in northeast Afghanistan. It is similar to the Yidgha language, which is spoken in the Upper Lotkoh Valley of Chitral, west of Garam Chashma in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
